The importance of post-LASIK ectasia has to do less with the frequency
with which it occurs but by the threat it poses to the patient's vision
People come in as well patients -- not sick patients -- and to cause such a
destructive, sight threatening condition is unimaginable and is
unforgivable.
The challenge for us is to detect and predict the risk of ectasia before any
procedure is performed

Pathophysiology
Refractive surgery alters the biomechanical properties of the corneaSchmack I et al. J Refract Surg 2005; 21:433445 Guirao A. J Refract Surg 2005; 21:176185
" Creation of corneal flap and subsequent tissue ablation, weakens
the anterior stroma, which normally confers more biomechanical
strength to the cornea than the posterior stroma Randleman JB, et al. JRefract Surg 2008; 24:S85S89 Dawson DG, et al. J Refract Surg 2008; 24:S90S96
" Interlamellar and interfibrillar biomechanical slippage occurs in
the postoperative stress-bearing regions of the corneal
stroma, similar to that seen in keratoconus (delamination and
interfiber fracture) Dawson DG, Randleman JB, Grossniklaus HE, et al. Ophthalmology. 2008;115: 21812191
" Continuous stresses, which are caused by intraocular (IOP)
pressure, extra-ocular muscles action, blinking, eye rubbing and
other forces result in unstable stromal bed

ORA does not provide a direct measure of corneal deformation upon
applanation, nor a direct measurement of standard biomechanical
parameters that describe the mechanical behavior of a material
" CH values may be specific to measurement method and conditionsrather than representing an unequivocal corneal property
" ORA CH finding may not represent the "true"CH, but instead represents
a hysteresis value better described as central, applanation-derived
hysteresis, which is based on a very short unloading/loading sequenceMcMonnies CW.Assessing corneal hysteresis using the Ocular Response Analyzer. Optom Vis Sci. 2012 Mar;89(3):E343-9.

Accelerated corneal crosslinking concurrent with laser
in situ keratomileusis H. Ugur Celiket al. J Cataract Refract Surg 2012; 38:14241431
Method: Patients had LASIK with concurrent accelerated CXL in 1 eye and LASIKonly in the fellow eye to treat myopia or myopic astigmatism.
" 12-month follow-up
" Attempted correction (spherical equivalent) -5.00 to -8.50 D in LASIKCXL
group and from -3.00 to -7.25 D in LASIK-only group" Main outcome measures: manifest refraction, uncorrected (UDVA) and
corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, and the endothelial cell count.
" Used KXL System(Avedro Inc.): 30 mW/sec for 3 minutes
Results: Eight eyes of 3 women and 1 man (age 22-39 years old) enrolled
" At 12-months, LASIKCXL group had UDVA and manifest refraction equal toor better than those in the LASIK-only group.
" No eye lost 1 or more lines of CDVA at the final visit
" Endothelial cell loss in the LASIKCXL eye not greater than in the fellow eye
" No side effects associated with either procedure.

Post-LASIK "prophylaxis"
Long-term studiesof corneal CXL to treat keratoconus show riboflavin-
mediated CXL can stabilize diseased corneas for more than 3 years
" One may anticipate that the application of riboflavinUVA CXL in a
healthy eye would result in similar stabilization.
With LASIK flap already open, application of riboflavin to stromal bedbypasses epithelial barrier and allows rapid diffusion of riboflavin into
surrounding stromal tissue.
Did not appear to affect efficacy and efficiency
" Accelerated CXL did not appear to affect the LASIK algorithms, and
LASIKCXL patients had similar or better outcomes than patients having
LASIK only
" The use of a uniform, high-powered UVA light source provides rapid
activation of CXL with little interruption in the flow of the procedure.

How sure are we of the long-term benefit of CXL?
Are we sure that there are no long-term adverse effects of CXL?
Does the benefit of routine use of CXL outweigh the risks, especially
since ectasia is a relatively rare occurrence?
What parameters do we use in applying the prophylactic treatment?

Conclusion
Despite improved detection with current screening protocols, there is a
definite need for further development of better screening tests
Current and evolving diagnostic techniques such as three-dimensional
corneal tomography and biomechanical measurements aid therefractive surgeon and lead to more accurate identification of risk for
ectasia
The ultimate goal is to identify Individualized level of susceptibility or
predisposition for developing ectasia
While interesting and promising, prophylactic collagen cross-linking at
the time of the LASIK procedure needs additional information about the
long-term effects of CXL, and its effects on the visual results of LASIK
